Outlook, watch, and warning
Development is being monitored
A tropical outlook identifies areas where a tropical cyclone could form. It is not a warning for a specific community.
Dangerous conditions are possible
A hurricane watch generally means hurricane conditions are possible within about 48 hours. Finish preparations promptly.
Dangerous conditions are expected
A hurricane warning generally means hurricane conditions are expected within about 36 hours. Follow evacuation and emergency instructions immediately.
